I have done many versions of Eugene’s eye
This #painting has been a true obsession for the last 2 months. All the first versions have been garbaged. It has been very tough to achieve a sufficient result. Not really satisfying, just acceptable. But I was unable to drop the project.
Probably because I have been deeply moved and impressed by the life and work of Gabritchevsky.

Working on a series called the 7 wives of Bluebeard#Picasso. This is a variation around Picasso’s Arlequin and his partner : the ogre and the woman he is to devour.
Red for the muleta and that hidalgo’s lock, dark eye ad powerful nose…

Back to the easel. Working on a series called the seven wives of Bluebeard Picasso. This is a variation around Picasso’s Arlequin and his partner. I realized I painted Picasso and the woman he is to devour.

I fell in love with a verse of Maiakovsky Tear away bits of joy from the fleeing days and wanted to do something inspired by it. I was in a sad mood after the Nice events and did it.To know, to suffer
But tear away bits of Joy
From the fleeing days

But while searching more info about it, I discovered it was an erroneous translation. Written after the suicide of a friend, Yvan Mignot says that it says Tear away bits of joy from the days to come. And this matched still more with my mood. Plus a haunting image of the teddy bear of a magnificent little by dead in the Nice tragedy. I did another version.
To know, to suffer
But tear away bits of Joy
From the days to come

#portrait of the #adulteress #mother of #kingsalomon – #mixedmedia#painting inspired by a #medieval#illumination by #robertboyvin
The background is an old #collage which I found a bit shallow called little pink mess
David one oversaw Bathsheba bathing. She was the wife of one of his general Uriah. But he fell in love, seduced her. She fell pregnant. The king managed to have Uriah killed in the war and married Batsheba. But their first child, the fruit of sin, died.
In the illumination, the story is shortened, King Salomon sees a Bastheba already pregnant.
In the different illuminations I have seen, Batsheba in her bath is always sinewy like a snake (the temptress…) and #pregnant
